I hope I live to see the day when the word “obsessed” stops being used instead of “I like [something]”.
Honestly, people using that expression sound like psychopaths to me.

My sister would’ve turned 45 tomorrow, but she will be 37 forever instead because #melanoma is evil.
Please protect your skin from UV rays, even if you’re dark skinned and/or tan easily, and remember to get your moles mapped and regularly checked.
Carola… I miss you so much, sorellina. 💕
My beautiful sister, Carola, who passed away from melanoma in 2017. She's smiling, and is wearing a silver/grey dress. She was a lovely and cheerful person, and is dearly missed by all people who knew her.

Down and sick in Paris and Dieppe

It seems that people took a dislike to David Tennant wearing a 17th century full wig while holding a copy of the Italian edition of Nikolaus Pevsner’s “An outline of European architecture”, because subscriptions to my newsletter have plummeted since I published this picture.
